FENG SHUI –SELECTION OF A PROPERTY BASED ON COLOURS OF THE SOIL

Besides the types of mountain and hills, what can you look for when selecting a property in a locality with prosperity and posterity in mind? 

You should make close observation on the quality of soil that make up the land in the vicinity of the neighborhood. 

In Feng Shui, the natural environment we lived in provides us with life giving energy known as qi. It is the life force that sustains all living things on earth. From the highest peak of the mountain, qi flows along the natural contours of the land and makes it way down the valleys where water is located. It is carried by the wind and gathers at the boundary of water.

When you are looking for a suitable property to make your home, you should observe whether there is any mountain or hill around the area. If there is and it is lush with vegetation, you can tap into the qi that is strong and vitalizing. 

But if you would like to know what types of qi is available in the area, you can start by looking at what is below the ground. Qi flows on top and below the ground. Earth is a natural conductor of qi and naturally you can determine the types of qi it carries from observing the soil. The secret is in the color of the soil. To do this, you need to dig about 2 feet into the ground. First, pay attention to the texture of the soil. If it is soft and loamy (with a mixture of clay, sand and some decayed vegetable matter), it indicates positive qi and therefore good quality. Whereas if the soil tends to be rocky and pebbly (with mostly stones), it is not conducive for positive qi to take root. 

Secondly, by examining the soil’s natural color, we can determine the types of qi it contains. Based on Feng Shui concept, there are five elemental phases of qi namely, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element takes on a color. 

The following is a general guide as to what each color means in relation to the soil:-

• Green colored soil denotes wood qi and is associated with nobility, benevolence and growth
• Red or purple colored soil denotes fire qi and is associated with passion and spirituality
• Yellowish colored soil denotes earth qi and is associated with wealth and stability
• Pale white colored soil denotes metal qi and is associated with power and authority
• Black colored soil denotes water qi and is associated with intelligence and travelling.
